I think that steaming your face regularly with a pot of boiling water would help. Put your head over the steam, and put a large towel over your head, and steam your face for at least 5 minutes. Then wash your face afterwards. Just keep your face far enough from the steam so that it doesn't do any damage to the skin. Also, I found that a really good soap for oily skin is the organic castille soap (with hemp oil and peppermint oil), that they sell at Trader Joe's, if there is one near you.

Steaming the pores and face washes will not reduce oil production in the skin. Face washes will just dry out and aggravate the skin and a few hours later it will be oily again.

Low doses accutane, 10 mg/day, is the only thing that is able to eliminate my oily skin but it has to be taken non stop otherwise the skin will return to the oily state. For females, some contraceptive pills have the same effect.

Another option is just to cover up the oil with a silicone mattifier like Monistat Powder gel.

Wash face regularly, avoid junk and fast food.
avoid oily food. Oily skin may cause acne so u also need to avoid soap and face wash having extra moisturizers.

What do you wash your face with? How often?
